With his back facing Yvonne and Taylor, Christopher curled his
slender finger.
Pursing her lips, Yvonne handed the letter to Taylor, who in turn
passed the paper to Christopher.
Before, Yvonne was the only woman with ess to Christopher apart from Be. She could sit on his
lap like a lover and make harmless
jokes, Christopher would never be mad at her.
The people around Christopher assumed that he loved and adored
Yvonne.
Only Yvonne knew that she could not hold a candle to Be.
Christopher only saw her as a substitute. He would enjoy herpany and fulfill his needs with her
during the good times. When
he was displeased, he would torment her. With just a snap of his fingers, he could end her life.
So, Yvonne refrained from getting close to him. Fear overcame he
when her eyes met his.
Taylor presented the letter to Christopher with both hands.
The man put down his wine ss, took the letter, and opened it.
Suddenly, Christopher jolted to his feet from the sofa, the chilling tension around him pushing Taylor
and Yvonne to back away in shivers.
Then came a loud thud.
With bloodshot eyes, Christopher bellowed angrily and kicked the
coffee table.
The million-dor wine and collectible wine ss shattered on the
ground.
“Damn it! Bastard!”
Christopher hurled the photographs in his hand onto the floor, his eyes ferocious like a provoked beast.
Taylor and Yvonne picked up the photographs, and they were shocked.
Even in disguise, they recognized the embracing couple to be Justin
and Be.
“How could this be? How?”
Christopher held his chest shakily, feeling like his heart had been ripped right out of his chest.
“Why? Be hated him so much. She didn’t even hide her resentment in front of me. Why would she go
to him? Why?”
“Take it easy, M-Mr. Iverson.”
Taylor tried his best to console Christopher. “It could just be the angle from where the picture was
taken. Maybe our people were mistaken. They didn’t-”
“I know Be.”
Christopher felt his burning head and fell back down on the sofa. “She
won’t look, much less have physical contact, with someone she hates.
“Even if they didn’t kiss, Justin held her, and they went shopping
together.”
The man gasped for air. Despite gritting his teeth, he could not stop
the tears from rolling down his cheeks.
Taylor and Yvonne were stunned.
They had worked for Christopher for a long time, bearing witness to his stoicism through the years.
This was the very first time a woman brought tears to his eyes.
Be was the love of Christopher’s life. He could not do without her.
Yet, Be would rather be with the man who dumped and hurt her
than spare another nce at Christopher.
Taylor winked at Yvonne.
Nevertheless, Yvonne kept her head down, refusing to take another
step toward Christopher.
In the past, she could please Christopher and carry out her due
diligence as a recement.
At this point, she knew where she stood.
A substitute had no more use for Christopher because his feelings for
Be ran too deep. No one could rece Be, even for a moment’s
Christopher sent Taylor to retrieve an injection. Only the shot could
calm him down.
